Yesterday and today I've noticed Baxter has a limp, it seems to be sone form of stiffness as it stops once he's been moving for a while, is this worth a trip to the vets ?

If it's noticable then yes it is worth getting checked out, you don't want it worse if it's something that can be sorted easily now Smile

Baxter went to the vets yesterday, she couldn't feel
Anything out of the ordinary but did say when she rubbed it he tilted his head like he was getting massage

Maybe he's pulled a muscle, hope he recovers properly soon!

I agree, rest it up and see how it goes. If after that it doesn't get any better ask the vet to do some more investigation.
